Hey guys.
Bought this turbo and I guess during shipping route it broke three studs on the exhaust side.

What would be the easiest way to extract these little bastards.

Pics on the way.

Heat them up with a torch, PB blaster, vice grips, and put it in a bench vice and go to town

That would work on 1 stud but the others are flush with the housing I was thinking maybe an easy out?

if they're flush, best bet may just be to drill them out or if you have extractors, drill a pilot hole all the way through and use the extractor. what i do is i drill the pilot hole and then spray the pb in the hole so it can get behind the bolt and then heat the shit out of the housing before you start trying to use the extractor
